People often use sweeteners because they think they are healthier than regular sugar. However, researchers question this opinion. So far, scientists have found out that one of the sweeteners, erythritol, can increase the likelihood of developing cardiovascular diseases.
The authors of a new scientific paper studied the data of 1157 people who collected blood for three years. It turned out that heart attacks and strokes were more common in those who regularly consumed sweeteners, including erythritol.
Scientists believe that this sweetener leads to the formation of clots that can clog blood vessels.
